yeh i found strap positioning quite hard to decide on. on the practice bag i made i ttried a few positions, too low and it feels like it wants to flip over as scott says, and too high and the weight of the load is felt much more on your lower back. when you get it right the load seems to sit perched around your shoulder blades making it much more comfortable. i think the compression strap system helps a lot too.
not really thinking about selling them at the moment, i'm giving one to a mate who's a courier to keep and test, and make sure they don't fail. i just wanted to be able to make them really. I'll make a few for friends and family, then if people want one, i wont say no. but i really need to clean up my stitching, i wouldn't feel comfortable selling someone this bag with the stray threads and wavy stitching in places.
